Âşık Meslekî

 Âşık Meslekî


Âşık Meslekî was a folk poet from the 19th century. He was born in Kertme (currently known as Mescitli), a district connected to Kangal, in 1848. He passed away in Kangal in 1930. His real name was Bekir Umut, his father's name was Hasan, and his mother's name was Şemsi. He belonged to a lineage called Muratoğulları on his father's side.


He was one of the apprentices of Deliktaşlı Ruhsati, a famous minstrel from Sivas and its surrounding areas. His master gave him the pseudonym "Meslekî." The master and the apprentice traveled together for a while. Meslekî, being in a region with numerous minstrels, only had the opportunity to introduce himself in those circles.


While the seasons of spring, summer, and autumn arrived,

I saw the floods, and my heart became troubled.

Seeing those who survived and achieved their desires,

I saw the hardships, and my heart became troubled.


As bloody tears streamed from my eyes,

While I bent my steps like the letter "Alif",

Enduring hardships in the biting cold wind,

I saw the paths, and my heart became troubled.


The morning breeze blew, the snow melted,

The lofty mountains were covered in mist,

The yellow flowers took flight and walked away,

I saw the roses, and my heart became troubled.


My separation transcends time,

Boiling and carrying waves of love,

The sleeping rivers and streams are overflowing,

I saw the lakes, and my heart became troubled.
